A collection of classic Christmas songs given a funky workout by Jeff and the band.

This all-star benefit album, "The Vault", features unreleased and reworked recordings by Jeff and guests. It was released posthumously in April 2015. The album features appearances by trumpeter Rick Braun, Dave Koz, Kirk Whalum, and others, with proceeds going to Golub's family.

Golub's blend of jazz, R&B and pop has epitomized the tougher, grittier, more earthy side of smooth jazz-in fact, his albums have as much to do with soul-jazz as they do with smooth jazz-and on Soul Sessions, he cherishes all things funky.
